That moment right after tickets for your favorite artist’s live show or limited-edition goods go on sale—clutching your smartphone and praying, “Please connect!” It’s a tension every fan has experienced at least once.

Online, you might see comments like “Is Rakuten Mobile hard to connect?” but what is the actual reality?

As a heavy user who has stuck with Rakuten Mobile for over 10 years, I’m going to share the “reality of the ticket battle” based on my own experience!

To Be Honest: A Little Weak Inside Buildings?

Because I’ve used it for over 10 years, I’ll be blunt: yes, there are still occasional spots where the signal is hard to reach, such as inside large buildings or underground. I won’t deny that (haha).

However, I have personally felt that Rakuten Mobile is surprisingly “clutch” when it matters most.

A Miracle Win! How I Won Tickets for the RADWIMPS Tour Final

Recently, I won a “battle” that surprised even me. It was for the tickets to the “RADWIMPS 20th ANNIVERSARY LIVE TOUR.”

The final performance of the tour was held at Ariake Arena on December 27, 2025. Actually, that day was my birthday! I really wanted to go, so I applied for everything from the fan club lottery to all the advance sales, but I failed every single one…

Unable to give up, I pinned my last hopes on the “last-minute first-come, first-served sale.” I took on the challenge using the Rakuten Mobile network while I was out, and to my surprise, I won the intense battle and successfully secured the tickets! It was the best birthday present ever.

And More! Success in Reserving Course Meals at the Disney Ambassador Hotel

It’s not just concert tickets. I also successfully secured a first-come, first-served reservation for the “Empire Grill” at the Disney Ambassador Hotel (a collaboration with Twisted Wonderland), which is famous for being extremely difficult to book, all using Rakuten Mobile.

Conclusion: You Can Trust It with Your Important Moments!

Compared to 10 years ago, both the coverage area and communication stability have evolved remarkably. Even taking the indoor weakness into account, I feel the balance between this “clutch performance” and the “low monthly fee” is an attraction you can’t find elsewhere.

For those who say, “I want to spend my money on fan activities (Oshikatsu) rather than phone bills, but I don’t want to lose out on connection speed!” As someone who has used it for many years, I can tell you that Rakuten Mobile is a network that can definitely “compete.”

Right now, by applying through the Employee Referral Campaign, you can get 14,000 points if you switch from another carrier. Using those points to buy your next set of merch is a great idea, too.

Come and enjoy a comfortable fan life with me on Rakuten Mobile!
